Newspaper Man - OSAAT 190

Hi my friends! I hope you're doing well.  We had a little bit of a cold spell this week, but it has warmed up again.  Well, in spite of a flat tire and getting lost and driving round and round for an hour, I had a great time last weekend.!  LOL!   I was up in Dallas at the Copic Color & Ink Workshops event.  We learned about so many different techniques using those Copic markers and reinkers.  It was also great to see Colleen Schaan again and to meet Cindy Lawrence, both super nice and seeing Colleen again was like meeting up with an old friend

This week at One Stitch at a Time the theme is to Use a Digi - any project as long as you use a digi image.  Our sponsor this week is our own StitchyBear Digi Outlet with the prize of the complete set of images that the DT used in challenge #188.  To win the main prize you MUST use an Image from our store.  Runner up prize for a person using non store image is $3 to spend in the StitchyBear Digital Outlet.  So everyone can win something.

Over the coming weeks or months, I'll be talking about some of the things that we learned at the workshops, as I hopefully incorporate them into my work.  On Friday night after all our workshops, we had a critique session with some of the ladies at the workshops along with Cindy and Colleen.  I tell you this because it impacts my card.  I took the image that I was working on for this card so that I could get some feedback on the coloring.  I wish I had taken a photo of it before because after I got home, I reworked it and it turned into the image I used on this card.

Knowing what it looked like before, I think it turned out pretty good on the second try.  And I'm really not so great at doing masculine cards.  I really think it needs something more, but couldn't figure out what.  The layout I used was SC388.

Materials Used:

• Image - Stitchy Bear - Pookie Designs - Daily News
• Sentiment - Stampin Up - Wonky Wishes
